We should be hosting a game in Knoxville against Ohio State. We got absolutely disrespected. This should motivate Tennessee to crush Ohio state. If I’m Heupel I’m making it known to the team the disrespect our university received. And it’s time to make them pay for that disrespect, don’t even make this game close. Just beat the ever loving **** out of this team. Hit them hard, make them feel it. Make them feel the disrespect.

Ohio State beat PSU and Indiana and barely lost to undefeated Oregon. Their egg was Michigan and ours was Arkansas. Their resume is better to host. Our best win was Bama and second best win was Florida. I'm not sure why so many are griping. Im thrilled. Let's go!

Not sure what that has to do with the OP's complaint. Ohio State also lost 2 games.

For that matter, Texas lost two. Penn State lost two. Georgia lost 2.

Are you trying to say 2-loss teams should not host a first round game, and just be glad they made the playoffs at all? I think 8 of the 12 playoff teams lost 2 (or 3) games.

Note, I'm not with the OP, complaining. I'm good with our (very challenging) path to a national title. Just saying, you didn't do anything to invalidate his point.

Go Vols!

I just think it’s such a cliche to resort to making up narratives about disrespect; when you’re in the 8/9 game.

Hell, this is what Kirby Smart does every single damn week. "They misspelled Carson Beck's girlfriend's friend's name in that news article - NOBODY RESPECTS US!" That dude's made a career out of finding or fabricating disrespect so he can yell at his team for five days straight every week.

My issue is more with Penn St than Ohio St. how are they 6?? Same number of losses. All of their wins ranked lower than ours. Ohio St should feel the same about that especially since they beat them head to head.

Indiana’s rank is a complete joke. But it is what it is.

Not hosting not only cost the fan base a great and historic experience, it cost Tennessee, conservatively, 10 million and Knoxville probably 25 million.

I never want to hear strength of schedule or strength of wins mentioned again. Nor even head to head. None of that matters apparently. Schedule weak, and win vs the worst, hope you don't get beat too bad by the good teams and soak in the glory.

Yeah, but as you said, is what it is. I just refuse to buy into the common narrative around here that Tennessee always gets robbed and everyone conspires against us. I think things worked out quite well considering the season.

The reality is that no one cares to see Tennessee succeed but us. Whether decision makers for college football want others to succeed is difficult to prove.

Let’s face it, many of us stayed up last night hoping to see something that kept Bama from the playoffs. While not conspiring, we shared our grievances in hopes that our cumulative opinions would somehow reach the committee.

I am without certain that everyone vying for a home playoff spot have done the same towards the Vols. As to why the committee chose in favor of others is nothing other than bias and pick your criteria to support the decisions. Unfortunately, that’s as fair as this committee has been willing to provide.

I said we may not be in next year. Don't feel good about the Florida and Bama game on the road and we always seem to lose to someone we shouldn't
